To all whom 'it may concern.:

Be it known that l, GENNARO WUNDER- LIGi-I, of the city of Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Combined Brush, Comb, Looking-Glass, and Receptacle, of which the following is a specification:

The object of my invention is to provide for a convenient pocket receptacle which shall hold, contain, and consist of a hairbrush, a pair of combs, and a looking-glass.V

My invention consists of attachinga metallic plate to the back of a hair-brush, which, by preference, should be made in the form of an Octagon, with two sides double the length of the other, although any other form may be employed as well. To one end of this plate is attached a metallic end piece, covering one end of the brush, to which are attached, by hinges, two arms of the same form and shape as the brush and back plate of the same, tting the sides of the brush when closed and forming a convenient handle for the brush when opened and thrown back, back to back to each other. rlhese arms are made somewhat broader than the bristles of the brush, so that a receptacle .is formed, when the arms are shut, on the end of the bristles. In this receptacle is placed a lookingglass, having the saine form as the back-plate of the brush, but somewhat smaller, with the glass toward the bristles and held thereto by aid of two pins, attached to the nside of the frame of the looking-glass, fitting into two eyelets fastened to the inner side of the arms, and also by aid of a double comb placed in a receiver on the back of the looking-glass frame. Then it is desired to open the receptacle and use the lookin g-glass or the combs, a catch attached to the end-piece holding the arms is slid down and the combs pushed toward the catch from a slot in the end of the arms, which also serves to hold the receptacle together when closed. The lookin gl glass is then lifted out of its place and is held for use by a folding handle, which, when closed, lies toward and over the glass.

In order to more fully describe my invention, I refer to the accompanying drawing forming),` a part of this specification.

Figure I is a top view of the receptacle or case, when closed, embodying` my invention. Fig. II is the endview of the same. Fig. III is a plan view of the brush and arms, when opened, so as to form the handle. Fig. IV is a plan view of the lookin g-glass.
